Wiretap Trivia #1

August 14, 2008

Did you know that Jorge Just won a grammy for his OK GO video, “Here It Goes Again“? Doubtless you’ve seen this video, but I didn’t know that it was somehow related to Wiretap, as I’m discovering all things are.

Big time, Boss. Big time.

In Case You Aren’t Familiar With The Google

July 25, 2008

In case you haven’t ever plugged “OK GO” and “Jonathan Goldstein” into a search engine, here’s this:

OK Go Podcast #5 – Jonathan Goldstein: Clicky! (13.7 mb)
The band interviews Jonathan Goldstein, host of Wire Tap, the best show that’s ever been on in the history of CBC radio. Listen in as this venerable broadcaster insults Damian and Tim, and is, in turn, insulted.

I know, I know, this is from like 2006. But I think we all need a reminder of how Jonathan Goldstein pronounces “Garage” gah-rayge, the way I imagine Mike Skinner would pronounce it if he were born in Brooklyn and moved to Montreal when he was 4. At first I thought it was just a verbal stumble, but he says it like that in “Protect Yourself,” too.

On a more administrative note,

I think since the Ruby Polygon post got so much unneeded attention (for some reason people have been linking it from facebook messages?)  I think I’m going to change the format from OMG JONATHAN GOLDSTEIN IS SO HAWT HERE’S A MENTION OF HIM SOMEWHERES ELSE to maybe, close readings of Wiretap episodes. OK? So get used to that one. Soon to follow. By.
